- Being caught in or between objects
- Repetitive motion injuries

These accidents can happen due to a variety of factors including slippery floors, cluttered work areas, improper lifting techniques, defective equipment, and more. In some cases, injuries may be caused by another person’s negligence or even intentional actions.
